Then the stone was laid by the Rev. DIR.
HARDWOOD, who in short address said: To
every thorough Christian and to every citi-
zen as well, though he may not be a Chris
tian, certainly the work of beginning
church like this awakens all his better feel
ings and all the good in his nature. This
church is not to be erected by a corporation
or railroad, nor for the purpose of store
or hall, but as house of God where the peo-
pie will come to praise him who gave them
all things. Your children will be brought
here for baptism, your young to receive con-
firmation and be united in the holy bonds of
wedlock, and it is here also you will bring
your dead after the joys of human life are
ended. Let this be the one thought that we
are here to build church for the worship of |
God and the benefit of mankind, and we are |
sure the good wishes of every citizen and |
churchman will be with you in this noble |
undertaking.
The building will seat about $50 persons |
and will be ready by the 1st of December. |
The foundation for a tower has been finished |
and covered over. At present the entrances |
to the chapel will be on the north and south
sides, at the end nearest Howard avenue.
However, when the tower is completed the
main entrance will be through that from the
side toward Lamberton street. The con-
tractors expect to have it ready for occupan.
cy by December LIST,
st. Pauls church has had mission in the |
western part of the city since September,
1884. The school has been growing very
rapidly under the direction of Rev. G. G.
Camp. 1t now numbers between 1875 and
100 members. With the exception of the
irst three months of its existence the school
las met in hall over q grocery store at the
corner of Rosette and Button streets. The
of the school and the continual
,rowth of that section has prompted the erec-
ion of the new chapel, and the new enter
rise starts under most favorable auspices. |
